Yes KD952, you answered my questions well, thank you. By the way... I tried adding my dynamic stamp from my "Stamps" (appdata) folder to another folder, but then it loses it's dynamic properties.... It's really weird... the process of creating dynamic stamps is so difficult! I guess I have...

MedBooster

By the way Mathew, please feel free to share the relevant script – in which this ink dot annotation mechanism is used. Perhaps it is for the hatch tool?

MedBooster

It just happened again , seemingly because PDF-XCE crashed (I tried waiting till the program would "respond", but it didn't), and when I reopened it the UI was reset to default (interestingly.... all my presets in the comment style palette are still there) The reason it crashed was that I ...

Have you fixed this yet?

I've also struggled with this.

MedBooster

if only this were a setting you could set with the oval tool. Basically making it round on the edges. Or the rectangle tool. If you do this and save it as default, will the corners be round by default?

MedBooster

oh, and I agree: If this were a built-in tool, it would have access to the color picker, and be able to show a color square on the dialog box. As far as I know, there's no way to put images or colors on the dialog boxes that we can generate with javascript. Here's my wish: That this tool were built...

MedBooster

That's great because as far as I know the "replace fonts" function only affects base content and not annotations (it seems)

MedBooster

How about allowing expansion/collapsing of selected bookmark groups pressing Ctrl+Enter This suggestion would also apply to other group menus/folders like for "comments" for example. As previously discussed... this wouldn't be an issue if you could set show/hide collapse/Expand antagonist ...

MedBooster

btw. maybe you should add a transparent option for fill color.

.... or an option to only change the color of white textboxes:

(with the accessibility override colors function)

MedBooster

I'm regularly using the shortcut of increasing and decreasing font size, and I am sure I and many others would appreciate a shortcut to do the same for "width" for shapes.

MedBooster

Edit batch-changing the font of selected comments would also be very useful

we've discussed it a bit here in this other thread:
viewtopic.php?t=40280&hilit=change+font

MedBooster

Have you by any change made a tool that changes the font of all selected objects in a similar way? I can't tell what the best way to do that would be . edit: by the way does the script only change the stroke color, of for example rectangles? Is it possible to make it only change the stroke/fill colo...

It just happened today again on version 385. a few day s after updating. The trigger was simply restarting my PC (even though I think I had closed PDF-XCE properly and saved all documents.

I thought "include comments" was referring to the content, not the name of the comment type...

Hi, MedBooster you actually need to add the new page using Add New: image.png Select an existing collection or make a new one: image(1).png And the "page" will be added to the PDF in the Stamps folder. As I understand it there are some special flags need to be set so simply adding pages t...

MedBooster

and I was also wondering if... since it seems to not be possible to drag and reorder or enable alphabetic ordering of stamps, can you reorder the order in the stamp panel by reordering the pages of the .pdf file under stamps in the appdata folder? ps. about dynamic and non-dynamic stamps – is it pos...

MedBooster

hmm.... I thought moving one stamp to another was as simple as adding another page to a stamp group pdf document, I guess not.... Or am I wrong? If I would want to add this blue timestamp to a group with 3 other stamps .... can I not just import this pdf page into the pdf document with the 3 other s...

MedBooster

This actually seems to be an issue similar to that of our previously discussed highlighter issue (not being able to move highlighted text with the base content)

It also seems you can not move form fields together with shapes or comment text elements, is that right?

MedBooster

Ok I got it thanks, I just that to use the select field function, as the select comment function would only select the text field itself and not the whole form text box.

Weirdly enough the select all tool also can't select form text boxes.

MedBooster

image.png Is it not possible to remove the black border line or change the font color of form fields? how would I create a stamp with Javascript then.... for dates for example. In that case I guess my other post about copying over text properties from comments to form fields doesn't make too much s...

MedBooster

Copy over format / properties from one text type to another is this possible? I've tried and it seems it is possible with text comment types such as typewriter and textboxes However... I suggest that you enable the option of copying over the text properties of these comment text types to form elemen...

MedBooster

Hello, MedBooster Read out loud is itself a tool, using other tools while it is running will "disable" the other tool in use. I will pass this suggestion along and see if we can implement a different handling for this scenario, since the base content is being read, and commenting will not...

MedBooster

Hello, MedBooster If you open the Stamps palette, and click "options" we have since added an option to place stamps with the "last used" size. image.png By default this is enabled, and allows you to take any stamp, press and drag to resize during placement, and then all future &...

This ties ...

MedBooster

Just downloaded the new version (285) and I am sad to see that adding a comment still stops the read out loud tool... is there a reason for it at all? It seems to be more of a bug to me.

MedBooster

It seems there now is a tool.

MedBooster

Has this changed? Did you find any solution?
As of now there seems to not be any fixed size to stamps anymore, it rather depends on your last chosen size. I think.... are you still able to set default/fixed sizes of stamps?

MedBooster

Hello MedBooster, Stamps are stored in stamp collections - and each collection had it's own separate file. You can share the files even if the collection is only one dynamic stamp, and this KB article explains the steps: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/175-How-do-I-copy-a-custom-Stamps-Pa...

MedBooster

I realize you could go into the properties panel and change the color there, but wouldn't it be cool if you could use some separate tool like the highlighter tool to change the font color or even highlighter properties of the base content text without adding a comment layer. Just a suggestion, does ...

Hello, MedBooster Well, hiding all toolbars would include the document tab bar, but if the size is the issue, wouldnt it be more helpful to collapse the ribbon tabs first?

About this;
an option could be to allow users to refer to a specific color profile* with a keyboard shortcut.

MedBooster

Any news? It would be so great if you were able to reorder an object (or multiple ones at the same time) in the comment styles panel!

MedBooster

I support the option to change ANY object. Highlights just being an example.
I'm sure many others would like the same

MedBooster

We've discussed this in the past, but I would like to formally request the ability to for example set a specific stamp to a specific stroke color, just not in post, but also setting it as the default stroke color attached to the given stamp. It would look much better in the comments pan – since I am...

MedBooster

aaah now I see. Thank you!

Yes that's what I would prefer (maybe others?), but it's not a big deal.

MedBooster

image.png Would you consider adding a keyboard shortcut/shortcut-button for this function? It would help with my workflow to not have to go into preferences and toggle this on and off. + this suggestion would also apply to the function of synchronizing the active comment tool in all windows/tabs.

MedBooster

Hi Mathew, yes I have tried the new version of the script a couple of times now, with HeX set to true, but still only HeX values appear. In my opinion it would be better to see both HeX and RGB at the same time. image.png Basically nothing seems to change after setting it to true. Are you supposed t...

MedBooster

Hello MedBooster, Yes - I understood that part - there is no way to assign a custom shortcut to running custom scripts I am afraid. Kind regards, Stefan Even from within the script itself? Could you position a keyboard shortcut button for it multiple places? One in the add-on tab and one in the nav...

Hello, MedBooster I am afriad that at this time, this item is not slated for a keyboard shortcut mapping. Kind regards, slated as in you're not planning to implement it?

MedBooster

I am referring to "more colors" so that you would get the color tray to either add remove or change existing colors or press OK to modify selected annotations

This is an example of a scenario: you have two tabs (documents) open side by side. It would be great to just have 1 comment panel which shows the comments of both tabs or maybe which shows only the comments of the active document/tab btw...

MedBooster

Hello MedBooster, Yes - some panes are tied to the specific document. E.g. the thumbnail pane is specific to that file you have opened, and will display it's pages, so I am not sure how those panes can be 'global'. Kind regards, Stefan I meant that it would automatically switch to syncing with the ...
